[YLUG] gnome-terminal

[Harry Mills]

I think .bashrc gets executed when you run a non login shell. .bash_profile
gets executed when you run a login shell.

You could always set a var and check that to see if you need to alter your
variables again. Something like

# Not sure on the syntax for this. I'm pretty sure this condition is
wrong/can be done 'more properly'
if [ "$BEENTHEREDONETHAT" == true ]; then
    exit;
fi

BEENTHEREDONETHAT=true
PATH="${PATH}:/other/bin/folder"

should work I think.

If you don't have a good feel for the growth rate of powers of 2, then a
little old man will save your daughter, and you'll grant him anything you
want in your kingdom, and he'll say he just wants one grain of rice on the
first square of a chessboard, then 2 in the second, 4 on the third, and so
on. And then: you'll be all out of rice.
